What do the 1611 KJV Translators say? I know what you say. But what do they say in their marginal note ? "Or day star"?

Well, what did William Thorn say about that in his book?
I don't have a clue. The 1611 KJV Translators disagree with you.
Evidence from the KJV
In response to the objection from supporters of KJV-onlyism, there are several points that can be made directly KJV.Here's how the verse looks in the 1611 edition of the KJV:
Notice in the original 1611 edition of the KJV, there is a marginal note for the words "O Lucifer". The marginal note reads "Or, O daystarre".
Clearly the KJV translators themselves understood the meaning of the Hebrew and provided "daystarre" as additional translational meaning. Similarly, the marginal note in the 1672 edition of the KJV says "for the morning star that goeth before the sun is called Lucifer".
Also of interest (not to this particular discussion, but the KJV-only issue in general) is the fact that this verse is written as two questions (question marks are used) in the original 1611 KJV, but was later changed to two exclamations (exclamation marks are used) in today's commonly used editions of the KJV
